The clam shell base is odd and out of place. The branches are too long and distract. The piece needs oranges and reds to offset the odd choice of granny Smith green and white. It's just bizarre

It's washed out, and just looking at it triggers a memory of what I rake out of my gardens, in the Spring. And, frankly, the room that clam shell claims could MUCH better be occupied by food platters.

In her house, the food is served by liveried footmen to each guest, who then helps herself/himself to each dish in an amount of each individual's choosing. She don't need no stinkin' food platters!

should stop you from being able to see the person across the table from you. They might look good in a picture (certainly not this one, YUCK) but they are difficult to really have a dinner around.

This entire get up and room look so very sterile. It looks like you are eating in a very cleaned up, upscale kitchen. The Trumps all seem to love sterile and white don't they?

She says she fills it with turquoise and pink ornaments for Christmas.
